Frankincense Absolute is richer than standard Frankincense Essential oil and has a balsamic age old resinous warmth with citrus undertones. It possesses great depth and complexity and makes an interesting base note for fresh citrus, spicy and floral accords.

Frankincense has been revered and used in Somalia and parts of the Middle East for thousands of years as spiritual incense and for its medicinal uses. It is now also used in high quality perfumes and cosmetics.

Pure Absolute Oils or Essential Oils should always be diluted with a carrier oil such as grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil before using on the skin. A patch test is recommended to see if your skin is sensitive to the product.

For External Cosmetic Use Only
Avoid all Absolutes if pregnant or nursing
